After a Long Hiatus from @PatientsLikeMe ... I told them I have #GERD? What the Hell is That? (I explain)

You can access my PatientsLikeMe-profile through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
GERD stands for #GastroEsophageal #Reflux Disease (or Acid Reflux ... I also say I have Sleep #Apnea, but that's probably just because--when my GERD wakes me up--I can't immediately clear the Acid out of my Throat). 
The word-part Gastro- is built on ancient words that mean "Belly, Paunch, Womb, Stomach; to Devour" (also the foundation beneath words that mean Green Fodder, Grass, Cress)
#Gastric #Gastrectomy #Gastritis #GastroEnteritis #GastroEnterology #GastroIntestinal #Gastrolator #Gastrolith #Gastrology
The word "Reflux" is built on ancient words that mean "to Flow (Fluent) Back or -Again." 

#RefluxValve 

The word "Apnea" is built on ancient words that mean "Not- or Without Breathing (see Pneuma)." 

#Apnoeic #Hyperpnea
